Teresopolis is a Brazilian municipality located in the state of Rio de Janeiro, in a mountainous region known as Regiao Serrana. Teresopolis began as a quilombo founded by Maroons and indigenous peoples. In 1818, Englishman George March (17811845) established a farm there, and when he died in the middle of the 19th century, the locals divided the farm into several shares, some of which the new owners eventually resold.
